Earth’s twin may be revealed in NASA’s recent 360 degree photos

August 26, 2016

Earlier this week, NASA released 360-degree footage of Mars that could easily be mistaken for the desert plains of southwestern U.S. Clearly visible on the footage are layers of rock, soil, and baked mudstone in what NASA refers to as the planet’s Murray Buttes, named after scientist Bruce Murray. This month marks the Curiosity rover’s fourth year on Mars, and the 360-degree photos suggest reason for celebration. With Curiosity’s previous discovery of water at one time existing on the planet, NASA expects Curiosity to continue to provide high tech evidence that Earth may indeed have a twin.
